Mike and Mike on Espn Radio were discussing the fact that Fifa needs to implement some sort of instant replay for the World Cup, in light of the goal was was taken away from England this weekend.

May people emailed, tweeted, that there should not be any instant replay, citing, it would "slow down the game" and "The fact that there is a human element, is part of the game." "It will never be perfect"

1: So players flopping on the ground, and being taken off on stretchers, when they were literally not even touched, doesn't slow down the game? Bullshit.

2: The "human element" excuse is getting old. It doesn't even make any sense. YES, there will always be a human element involved in officiating ANY sport. It will NEVER be perfect. We aren't looking for perfection. We have the technology to improve the game. USE it for fuck's sake.

Picture this:

You get your pay check. It is $100 short of what it should have been. You bring it up to your boss. His response:

"Well thats just part of the job. With the human element, things will never be perfect. We could check the computer records, and correct the error, but we don''t have the time."

Humans make mistakes. Technology can correct SOME of those mistakes. USE it.

Take your "human element" excuse and shove it up your ass.

Thank you.

One the same topic, why not have goalline technology? This goes for both the NFL and FIFA.

I don't care that much for instant replay. The play is dead when the whistle is blown for off-sides. Seeing that again on instant replay won't do you much good. You wouldn't be able to give the goal later on. Of course, there are some exceptions and I wouldn't mind instant replay in those, but it's not that high on my list of priorities.

Just having a little chip in the ball and on the goalline seems like something that should just be implemented in all sport with a goalline. There's really no reason not to.

Instant replay is needed on a bigger scale in all sports, but it won't solve all the problems. I've said this in the other boards that I'm cool with it as long as it's regulated, like challenges in football, and not just free reign to review every play. But if it ever gets to the point in baseball that people are calling for instant replay on balls and strikes, I'm gonna start crackin' skulls.
